Races of this nature are usually good betting heats at Beverley and the market will provide some valuable clues today. However, in the absence of a solid price guide, Kythia is far from confident selection to round off the meeting with a winner; although Danish Monarch is very much respected as the most experienced runner in the field. However, moves for any of Biscar Two, Princess Kioto or Barton Flower will be dangerous to ignore. But Kythia, who is out of a half-sister to Nell Gwyn Stakes winner Reunion, made a favourable impression on her debut at Warwick after putting in some solid work in the closing stages on that occasion. The daughter of Kahyasi can be expected to have learnt a good deal from that effort and could be good value to build on that performance today.
